This rise will follow a sum- mer drum in marketings between Jag;: and September. The drop is a little more than earlier forecasts had indicated. ty'est- ern titarkerings of hogs willcon- tin::e to climb tip over year earlier levels, while Eastern niarke.tings will run more close- ly to last year's marketing as we ;et into the last half of 1,9k4. During rhe first quarter of this ;ear, hug shipments a;er- aged about 148,000 head per week, whichwassome 3, OOu head per week more than ex- pected. Pork imports were smaller during; the first quarter than a year ago. Exports were larger, and for the first time in over a year exceeded imports by a small margin. For 1364 as a • whole, imports and exports are expected to be almost equal.

Letters to the Editor R. R. 3, Winguam Editor, Advance -Times, Winghatn, Ontario Dear Sir: Anyone at the head of farm organizations in the field of marketing, slaughtering or fanning, if interested in the most economical and efficient ;tray of mar:ceting livestock, es- pecially hogs, can see that the Ontario flog Producers Assoc. with its assembly yards, is a ruination and hazard to the quality pon< Ontario.farmers are producing. Too much loading and un- loading, hogs lying around too long after leaving the pro- ducer's place until slaughtered, shrinking, bruising, fighting and overheating are causing down -grading as well as abuse at the assembly yards. Before compulsory market- ing in Ontario my hogs were slaughtered the same day they left my premises. By hand feeding and weighing the eve- ning before shipment I was able to determine that a '200 to 210 lb, hog would shrink 42 to 45 lbs. by slaughtering average 43 lb. With assembly yard market- ing through the OHPA the same weight of hog shrinks 48 to 60 lbs, for an average of 55 lbs. The difference in shrinkage is 12 lbs per hog. With hogs at $28.00 per cwt. the loss per hog would be 83.36. Multiply this figure by the 55, 000 hogs marketed in Ontario each week and multiply again by the 52 weeks in a year and you have a total of $9,609,000.00. Add to this a mild figure of 4% for down -grading A to Bl equal- ling $3.00, plus 81.50 to $1.69 A to B1 in dressing weight fora total down -grading loss of $4.50, multiplied by 2, 200 hogs down -graded each week and multiply again by 52 weeks of such losses each week and you get a total down -grading loss of $514,800.00 each year, to mak a grand total of $10, - 1.24,400.nu. I claire that the OHPA is at fault for operating an organiza- tion after an unfair vote and an flection which was proved in- valid in court and it was not proved that they got the neces- sary tib 2:3 per cent majority. The blame has been placed on the farmers for starting things and leaving thein to the government or someone else. The fault does not lie with the farmers. We have signed petitions to have another vote and cannot get one. At one time we were, promised another vote in two to four years by the OI1l'A. Advertisements tell us how to produce better hogs by breed- ing, feeding, insulated build- ings, ventilation, antibiotics, etc. This is .= job fairly well done by the people involved, but they do not worry about the marketing of hugs and this is where an efficient hog produc- er loses almost 20';o on certain hogs through the contf ulsory assembly yard system of mare<et• ing. We have tried to prove our point by having hogs shipped direct to place of slaughter and slaughtered the same day prov- ing difference in bruising and lower carcass quality but this the Ot1PA will not permit. They must be afraid of proving they are inefficient in their way of marketing or they would agree. I have been weighing and watching the marketing of hogs since 195:: and 1 challenge any- one to prove that I am wrong in the facts I have quoted in this letter. Oscar Schefter Correspondence Course Fills Need In Horticulture The demands of industry for skilled personnel is so great that adequate training facilities are not presently available to meet with the situation. A step to help alleviate this condition was taken in 1960 with the laun- ching of the three year horticul- tural correspondence course at O.A.C. , says Professor C. E, McNincli of the Extension Edu- cation Department, The course covers subjects of a scientific and technical nature such as botany, engin- eering, soils and machinery. It also encompasses business ad- ministration in the form of per- sonnel management, public re- lations, municipal law, adver- tising, and accounting. The six fields of study provided are, Parks Management, Nursery Op- erations, Landscape Contract- ing, Commercial Floriculture, Turf Management, and Process- ing Crop Production. The course provides students with a knowledge that enables theta to obtain responsible posi- tions itt the industry. An advisory committee in- cluding representatives from the various horticultural industries worked with the faculty at the college in planning the curri- culum which is revised yearly to Meet the needs of the in-' dustry. Graduates are presented with The Ontario Diploma in Horti- culture which is widely recog- nized by horticulturists through- out the province. A one-year course fur home gardeners is also available. Ap- plications for enrolment are ac- cepted at any time in the year and should be sent to Corres- pondence Courses, Department of Extension Education, Ontar- io Agricultural College,Guelph. KEEP CHILDREN OFF FARM MACHINERY Farm machinery will figure in the accident reports again this year. Many crippling or fatal accidents are due to neg- lect or carelessness or the prac- tice of allowing youngsters to operate tractors or other heavy equipment for which they have neither the strength or good judgment. o From calves 1 Belter CalIIe Outlook Cattle feeders should ua NI. a fairly good year, reports the Canada Department of Agricul- ture. Producers will not likely experience the big drop that oc- curred last spring. Prices of both slaughter and feeder cattle have been steady to slightly rising so far this year. The slightly rising trend is expected to continue into summer, as marketing:: in the second quarter will probably i.e: lighter than in the first. Fed cattle marketing;: have ht en almost 100,:, above last year, increasing mostly in tite Good and Choice grades. -These grades averaged about 34,000 head a week for the first quar- ter and should stay above 2o, - 000 for several tuuntln, as the l:e'av\• piacetnenW, ui fetders -ee'1i1 to hl r'u!]C1nh111lz,;. '1'lie' price differential for fed cattle favoured the U.S. in late February and March, and as a result, several carloads of cattle were imported, 'Phis dit- fcreutial should disappear by May, Feeder exports have been only about 34. Of last year's but should pick up slight- ly in the spring and summer. 13ee f imports have changed little from l it,:1, while exports (of boneless beet) have risen al- most :30 and should continue to rise, with prices expected to go up in the U.S, during the April -June period.
